Despite recording only in Spanish, he continued to be the best selling Latin artist in the 1990s, and was credited for popularizing the bolero genre into the mainstream market. He has sold around 60 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling Latin music artists.
Latin pop music, along with his personal life and showmanship on stage, has made Luis Miguel popular for nearly his entire career, which started in Mexico in 1982. Having won his first Grammy Award at the age of fourteen for his duet "Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" with Sheena Easton, he is the youngest male artist in music history to have received this accolade. In 1991, the RIAA recognized the high sales for his 1991 album Romance, itself being the third best-selling music album in Mexico, and one of the best-selling Spanish language albums of all time. He was the first Latin artist to have been awarded two Platinum certified Spanish-language albums in the United States with ‘‘Romance’’ and ‘‘Segundo Romance’’ the latter earning him 35 platinum records throughout Central and South America. He is also recognized by Billboard, as the artist with the most top 10 hits on the Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. His album Complices was released in 2008 and peaked at No.10 on the Billboard 200; it is the highest position a fully Spanish composed album has reached. His most recent album ¡México Por Siempre! was released in 2017, and it earned him his second No. 1 on the Billboard Regional Mexican Albums and achieved double platinum status.
Luis Miguel is also known for his high-grossing live performances. He is the first-highest grossing Latin touring artist since Boxscore began tracking touring data in 1990, with a towering total of $278.5 million. With the Luis Miguel Tour, which took place in 2010, he visited 22 countries in North America, South America and Europe, where he performed in a three-year span with a total of 223 shows all over the world, making it the longest and highest-grossing tour ever made by a Latin artist. He also holds the record for the most consecutive presentations in the Auditorio Nacional (National Auditorium) with a total of 30 consecutive concerts as well as the record for the most presentations in the same venue with a total of 258 concerts.
Echame A Mi La Culpa
Luis Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me fallaste
Que lo que prometiste se te olvidó
Sabes a ciencia cierta
Que me engañaste
Aunque nadie te amará
Igual que yo
Lleno estoy de razones
Pa' despreciarte
Y sin embargo quiero
Que seas feliz
Que allá en el otro mundo
En vez de infierno encuentres gloria
Y que una nube de tu memoria
Me borre a mí
Dile al que pregunte
Que no te quise
Dile que te engañaba
Que fui lo peor
Échame a mí la culpa
De lo que pase
Cúbrete tú la espalda
Con mi dolor
Que allá en el otro mundo
En vez de infierno encuentres gloria
Y que una nube de tu memoria
Me borre a mí
Dile al que pregunte
Que no te quise
Dile que te engañaba
Que fui lo peor
Échame a mí la culpa
De lo que pase
Cúbrete tú la espalda
Con mi dolor
Que allá en el otro mundo
En vez de infierno encuentres gloria
Y que una nube de tu memoria
Me borre a mí
Y que allá en el otro mundo
En vez de infierno encuentres gloria
Y que una nube de tu memoria
Me borre a mí
The lyrics of Luis Miguel's song "Échame A Mi La Culpa" are charged with feelings of heartbreak, betrayal, and selflessness, although they may seem like an attempt at manipulation at first glance. The song opens with the singer acknowledging that the person he's addressing betrayed him, that they forgot their promises and lied to him. He admits to being full of reasons to despise them, but despite all that, he wants them to be happy. Miguel sings about his desire that in a possible afterlife, this person does not end up in hell but instead finds glory. He even goes as far as wanting this person's memory to be erased of him, so they can live happily without the burden of guilt.
The chorus is also significant in portraying Miguel's character's selflessness. He asks this person to blame him for all that happened between them, to cover their back with his own pain. He repeats the prayer-like and idealistic desire for that person to find glory in the afterlife, and for his memory to be demoted to a mere cloud in their mind. The lyrics overall share the message that forgiveness, even in the most hurtful situations, is essential to achieve peace, even if it sometimes means taking the blame for the greater good.
